Re:Google is now a publicly traded company (Score 1)

Yes, you're absolutely right. Take Yahoo! for example, if they were not to expand their business to other services (Games, Finance, News, Videos, Music, Web Hosting, Chatting, and many many more) and stuck to Web Directory and Web Searches while they're on top, they would have gone busted now. The reason they're still there now is definitely not because of their Web Directory and Web Searches, rather it's the services they expanded out of their core business earlier on. Hence, Google is smart here, .. not to pu all your eggs in one basket, fool!!
